SUNDAY WORK.
Sunday was hnSy day with the track
men. Joseph Watson hAi all his men oIt
al Saturday night ard all day Sand ~
cleaning switches nn the Maryland division.
w. T. Calvert had his men our all day Sgn-
day on the Frederick division. The boys did
not like it, nut as it was really necessary
work, they all went t. work witt viii and
kept things il working order. While it is
necessary To keep he switches and tracks
clean on Sundays, We think there is great
deal of unnecessary work done Oh hat day
over all RAILROADS and on all Sundays. When
men ar" compelled to work nn Sundays
day is the day THAI most working men want
to spend at nome with their families and AT
the churches.
